Surprise: Trump Reportedly Stiffed a Restaurant Full of His Supporters He’d Promised to Buy Lunch

Good...any repugnants stupid enough to support him deserve to be stiffed. >>
You're talking about *your* stupid self supporting harry, yes?
"Laine Doss, the food and spirits editor for the Miami New Times, wrote the piece and told Newsweek she did not say that Trump stiffed the restaurant or placed an order, just that he left without an order being made.
"I never wrote that he didn't pay. I wrote that there was no food. That's all I wrote," Doss said. "No food was ordered, he left within 10 minutes and never got a chance to order and nobody ate because there was no ordering. So there was no ordering,
and so no paying, and no bill, and he was only there for 10 minutes."
It appears that no order was made and the restaurant may not have been in a position to honor requests at the time, given the number of people in the venue.
There is no evidence that the restaurant or anyone else at Versailles was short-changed by the former president, as some of the social media posts suggest."
Other actual news articles point out that the kitchen wasn't even staffed or preparing *any* food. It was simply a gathering place for his supporters. harry has stiffed you again. And you like it, apparently.

I'm sure Donnie feels appropriately stupid!
Of course, I'm definitely stupid.
A former federal judge once lauded by the right for his conservative
legal opinions delivered a scathing rebuke of the Republican Party for
its continued fealty to Donald Trump.
J. Michael Luttig wrote in a New York Times op-ed that the GOP’s
“spineless support” has enabled the former president, despite his role
in the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol and his Espionage Act
indictment in the classified documents scandal.
“Indeed, their fawning support since the Jan. 6 insurrection at the
Capitol has given Mr. Trump every reason to believe that he can ride
these charges and any others not just to the Republican nomination,
but also to the White House in 2024,” Luttig wrote.
He called Trump’s arguments that he has the right to hold onto any
documents he wants “preposterous,” and called out the party for being
ready to hand him the presidential nomination again.
“Building the Republican campaign around the newly indicted
front-runner is a colossal political miscalculation, as comedic as it
is tragic for the country,” Luttig wrote, adding that the campaign is essentially one running against the U.S. Constitution.
“If the indictment of Mr. Trump on Espionage Act charges — not to
mention his now almost certain indictment for conspiring to obstruct
Congress from certifying Mr. Biden as the president on Jan. 6 — fails
to shake the Republican Party from its moribund political senses, then
it is beyond saving itself,” Luttig declared. “Nor ought it be saved.”
Trump’s campaign is doomed to fail, given the large number of
Americans who would never vote for him “if for no other perfectly
legitimate reason than that he has corrupted America’s democracy and
is now attempting to corrupt the country’s rule of law,” he argued.
Luttig, who was appointed to the federal bench by President George H.
W. Bush in 1991, “operated behind the scenes at the top of the
conservative legal world,” Politico wrote last year.
He advised then-Vice President Mike Pence not to cave to Trump’s
pressure to overturn the results of the 2020 election - advice Pence
ultimately heeded.
